Speakers will equip providers with practical, guideline-based strategies to apply in everyday practice. The session focuses on key liver conditions, including: 

• Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)
• Autoimmune liver disease
• Chronic viral hepatitis
• Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
• Alcohol associated liver disease
   

Participants will also have the opportunity to ask our experts questions during the live Q&A session.
